Remembering that Jesus walked most of the places he went, having anything on which to ride could have been a luxury. But what he rides is the humblest of animals. His mount is used by the workers and the common folk. When others were welcomed into Jerusalem, the city of God and God's people, they rode on powerful steeds or in a chariot. Jesus comes riding on a donkey.
This is a powerful reminder to us. We are too easily fooled into looking for the war horse or the carriage of the powerful. Our Messiah comes in the plain and common. Our Lord is mounted on the foal of an ass.
There will be powerful and wonderful things which happen in your life. For them, give thanks to God and recognize His presence. But do not overlook the subtle or the common events in which God is also attempting to enter your life.
